NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, accompanied by Head of Ukraine's State Emergency Service Andrii Danyk, visited locations in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district that were hit during a Russian attack on May 24, when three people were killed.
The State Emergency Service said this in a statement seen by Ukrinform.
Danyk showed Rutte how rescuers worked during the night when 32 locations across the capital came under attack. Emergency teams searched for people under rubble, extinguished fires, and rescued the injured.
He also briefed the NATO chief on a strike against the Kyiv regional emergency headquarters building, which housed an operational coordination center and a server system supporting the 101 emergency hotline and the 112 system. Duty staff, mostly women, were inside at the time of the strike. Despite the destruction, dispatchers and communications specialists managed to move to shelter and continued receiving emergency calls.
